Weekly News: January 27-31


We had so much fun celebrating our 100th Day of School! Thank you for all of the help, donations, and snacks!! Make sure you check out our pictures on ParentSquare. I can't believe we are more than half way through our school year together! I am so proud of your children for working so hard and for everything they have learned so far.

This week we will be learning about Penguins! 

Our field trip is Wednesday! We will be going to the San Bernardino Museum. Permission Slips for this field trip were sent home last week - if you have not turned this in yet, please sign and return by Tuesday at the latest. On this day, we will be leaving school immediately at 8:30. On this day, please pack your child a lunch in a paper bag.  No lunch boxes please. We will be eating our “sack” lunches at the museum following the tour. Don't forget to wear your ILCS shirt. Thank you to the parents that have emailed me to chaperone. Chaperones can choose to ride with us if there is space or follow the bus and will pay a cash fee of $10.00 the morning of the field trip. We are looking forward to having a great time!  

Upcoming Events:  
Wednesday, January 29: Field Trip to the Children's Museum 
Monday, February 10: NO SCHOOL 
Friday, February 14: Valentine's Day Centers (more info coming soon)
Monday, February 17: NO SCHOOL

What Are We Learning This Week?:

Sight Words: QUESTION, WRITE, WITH, SAW, FROM.

Letter Team:  QU (we are learning that QU are married because they are always together!) and WR (the W is silent!) 

Reading: This week we are reading books all about penguins!

Writing:  We will continue practicing writing a narrative (story from our life), informational (information about penguins), and an opinion. 

Math: Since we have passed our 100th Day of School, we will start working on place value to the hundreds. We'll be learning that Zero the Hero is now our place holder in the tens place. We will discuss how many hundreds, tens, and ones are within a given number and create number sentences to match. You can help at home by asking your child about tens and ones. ("My number is 16, how many tens and ones does that have?" Your child should be able to tell you that it has one ten and six ones, as well as give you the number sentences to match 10+6=16 or 16-10=6.) This week, we will also continue to work on using many strategies to add and subtract.

Leadership: We will continue to ROAR and discuss what it means to have a growth mindset!

Homework: January 27-31

Flashcards: Make flashcards for our new sight words (QUESTION, WRITE, WITH, SAW, FROM), and letter teams (QU and WR). Study flashcards every day. STUDY OLD FLASHCARDS AS WELL. I WILL BE TESTING STUDENTS ON ALL SIGHT WORDS FROM THE FIRST AND SECOND TRIMESTER IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS!

Phonemic Awareness: Please work with your child on: rhyming, blending, segmenting, syllables, and beginning/middle/ending sounds. 


Reading: Our book bags have been filled with so many things to practice reading! Continue to practice your fluency passage, your A-Z paper books, and your library books. Students will have a book bag "check-in" at the end of each week, where we will read everything from their bag together and they will receive a star for each item they read fluently. 

Writing: Write in your at-home journal every day.


Math: We have started our unit on addition and subtraction. Please review your child's pre-test that came home to see what skills they need to work on. Please also review your child's Math Facts Tests that come home weekly to reinforce addition and subtraction at home! You can also find these pages uploaded on ParentSquare!
